Is this a rhetorical question?
oh wait, you're asking for "only children".............I thought you were wondering if all us were infantile-juvenile little sophmores'. Never mind..........

what's selfish about only having one child? nothing, that's what. Some people are incessant breeders, some are not. Some women get off on being pregnant for 2/3 of their lives. There's nothing wrong with having one child, just make sure you raise it properly, that's all. The toughest thing about having only one child is resisting the urge not to spoil it. If you can do that, it's actually probably beneficial to only have one child.
now on a purely selfish note, the more kids you have the more them walls get knocked down........and you don't want that do you? I've known a few women that before they were even 30 they'd had 4-5 kids and could only get off from anal sex............I'm being serious too. I'm not trying to scare you off having multiple kids, just have some time inbetween em to "recover"..........your husband will be grateful. LoL

LOL at asking someone if they are normal. Pretty much everyone thinks they are normal. Except me I'm pretty far from normal really. I'm not an only child so can't help you there.

and have nice asses.
Oh my god. there is no way I'd have another anytime soon. I do not want a stretched out vag. In my birth plan I told the docs that Im not scared of a c-section. lol
It will be hard not to spoil her...I agree with that. She's not even out yet and she's already spoiled. Its awful. She even has a crystal chandelier in her nursery. I cant stop.
I forgot, you have what, 3 siblings?

I am the youngest of 12. Don't do that. 12 is too many, 1 is not enough. Something between 1 and 12 would work.
Nothing selfish about having only one child...that's probably going to be my deal too.
I wasn't an only child, but my two siblings are a lot older than me so in a lot of ways I had a set of parents and siblings who treated me like a living plaything, so I never got the normal brother sister interaction. And i was my dad's only child. I don't think I turned out particularly mememememe.

Nope, I have one older brother. Trust me the world is bad enough off with two of us. Four and I'm pretty sure we'd be responsible for the apocolypse.

What happened to the other two I remember you having? Did you eat them?
You're just remembering wrong. I am the yougest of two children. My mom didn't want kids and my dad wanted a lot. Mom was an only child and didn't want that so they settled on two.
Although now that you mention it my street cred would be a lot higher if I had killed and ate some syblings.

I just wanted to make a fat crack about you eating your siblings, I didn't need your life story.

If you think that being pregnant is the hardest part of being a parent, boy do I have a newsflash for you!
THAT WAS THE EASY PART. LOL It's the rest of your life that will be difficult, I promise you.
As for the "stretched out vagina" thing. It's very true but that doesn't happen until the third. And even then there is a simple surgical procedure that can be done to make you tighter than when you were 17!
I never pass judgment on a woman for having one child/18 children or NO children. Having children or not is a very personal decision. Unless that woman is asking me to support her kids then I say, "Who am I to judge?"
I am not an only child (middle of three, oldest girl to very old school eastern europeans) but as the mother of several I can honestly tell you that if one is a good parent there is no such a thing as "too many children" but if one is inept then ONE is too many.
Were I just 6 years younger, CindyLou I would give my left arm to have two more. Matter of fact I am seriously talking with the Grump about foster kids. Dunno if it will ever get past the "talking about" stage but it makes me happy to fantasize about it from time to time.

Well i dont know if being pregnant is HARD.
Its annoying as hell and way too long. lol!
I just started developing these feelings recently as it gets hard to get off the couch and out of bed
Plus I'm craving a drink something fierce! lol
Hard? Not yet...but waaaaay too long. Why cant it just be 4 months?

I have run into women who think it was fun and women who dont.
Imo, the only thing fun about it was decorating the nursery and the ultrasounds - and maybe the showers...I have not had one yet
Im horribly impatient though, and I dont ride the bus or anything like that
and I dont give a shit if people smile at me, I'd rather not be pregnant and have them not smile at me to be honest lol
But I cant wait to have her, its just one of those things I gotta do but knew I wouldnt exactly enjoy
But yeah, I do feel "cute".

you're adorable whether you're pregnant or not. I'll bet my ass your dad gave your husband a good talking to before you got married about all the different looks you'll give to get what you want..........I'll just bet anything.......
how much longer you have to go? You keeping up with light cardio? They say that women who excercise during pregnancy not only bounce back faster, but sometimes bounce back better because they took advantage of all those hormones being released during the pregnancy.

It seems like FOREVER. But honestly, when it's all over sometimes you will want to go back. Maybe not. Either way one day very soon you will have a sweet little baby girl to hold close. I still remember the first time I put my oldest to my breast to nurse her. It seems like yesterday. The nurse gave her to me and I was stunned. She just latched on and I was like, "Holy cow... this is unbelievable. Here is this little human being that I MADE that I am feeding from my own body." It was one of the most amazing feelings I had ever experienced and I feel priviliged to have experienced that.
I wish I could go back to that day.
You'll be fine. It will be wonderful and awfull and scary and exciting and something you'll want to forget sometimes and other times there will be tiny little glimpses of moments that will remain with you forever, like for me that moment the first time I nursed my first child. She will be 17 on 19 AUG but it was yesterday for me.

no not really. walking is all my doctor said i could do for cardio and i just think its a waste of time to walk for 30 min and only burn a measly 100 calories.
i do cardio to lose weight not to be healthy! lol.
i should have done it but didnt. but i have a lifetime of cardio under my belt, and plan on starting it back up 6 weeks or so when the doc says i can....so i figured i'd just take a break

Nobody gets pregnant the 2nd time on purpose. You just happen to be fertile as hell for a couple of years after your first, then comes #2

Believe it or not there are folks out there who have the number of children they do ON PURPOSE whether that number is zero, one or twenty.

I took fertility drugs to conceive my first 3 children. The last one was the only one that was made "the old-fashioned way": LOTS of perfunctory sex, temperature charts and wishing.
After my 4th even though I really wanted 5 I decided that since I had to take care of all 4 myself, having another child just wasn't fair to the 4 I already had (In other words I knew I couldn't handle taking care of 4 small children being pregnant). So my ex got "fixed."
